Keep pets inside at night and under close supervision
while they are outside during the day.

Avoid close contact with any wild animal or wild animal
feces to prevent exposure to disease or parasites, and ensure your pet's
vaccinations are up to date.

Coyotes can also be removed by a homeowner at anytime
in defense of private property or to protect personal safety on land that
they own. Property owners may also use the services of another individual,
such as a licensed trapper, to address a particular problem coyote on
their property.

Encountering a Coyote

Never
approach or crowd a coyote — give it an escape route.

Stop, remain calm and assess your situation.

If the coyote seems unaware of you, move away quietly
when it is not looking in your direction.

If the coyote is aware of you, let it know you are
human: shout at it, wave your arms above your head to make yourself appear
more threatening, throw stones or other objects at it.

If the coyote continues to approach, back away slowly
and move toward buildings or human activity.

Do not turn away or run — this may encourage the coyote
to chase you.

If the coyote attacks you
— Fight Back!
